Bicycle Austin forum

Bikes should be banned from all Texas roads.  In today's world, with massively large vehicles on the road, bikes are equivalent to toys.  Children should ride bicycles on sidewalks, playgrounds and back yards; adults need to get off the roads and out of the way.

Bicycles (and motorcycles) are to automobiles like like oil is to water . . . 

Two separate cyclists did stupid things in years past in front of my car (a sedan and not a gas-hog SUV) and they both ended up in the hospital.  If they had been off the roads, where they belonged, and not pulled out in front of my vehicle, neither of them would have had to undergone all those surgeries.

I felt bad about both of their injuries, but they gave me no time to react.

And if they had been in a automobile, their irresponsible actions would have ended up in a fender bender, not a life-threatening accident.

Get the toys off the road. 

They simply don't belong there.
